Added to Netflix on Thursday, Oct 19, 2023 A riveting tale set in London’s Whitechapel unravels a singular murder mystery that spans across different eras. Four distinctive detectives – from the 1890s, 1940s, 2010s, and a post-apocalyptic 2050 – find themselves intertwined as they investigate the same murder. While DS Shahara Hasan from 2010 makes a grim discovery on Longharvest Lane, the same discovery is eerily mirrored in the investigations of the other detectives in their respective time frames. As each detective dives into the mystery, their stories become interconnected in an unexpected, mind-bending manner. Based on Si Spencer’s 2015 graphic novel, this series promises a journey through time like no other.
